Using txt presets

WARNING: Console commands may disable achievements if you don't have mods that prevent this behavior.
Txt presets are an easy way of applying specific morphs to a body without changing other appearance and details - like face, hairstyle, etc. All it affects is the body morphs, so, the body shape.

How to use txt presets?

Move txt preset to the game folder, not data.
Open console in the game.
Select an npc/player, ensure correct id of the selected actor in the console.
Execute this, replacing presetname with the preset name without .txt extension:
bat presetname
Body preset should be applied correctly.

What are .txt presets?
Nothing new: txt preset is a regular file with console commands that are executed upon wri...

Morphs

Morphs are actually so-called shape keys.
This means that for such a key, all vertex points of a 3D model have a starting point and an end point.
What ends up looking like a morph movement is just the path of the vertexes from their start to their end point.

Here you can see that for the waist width:
...

Texture painting

With texture painting, drawing is done directly on the 3D model and the whole thing is saved as a 2D graphic.
With the right tool, you can "stamp" real photos of people onto the 3D model:



As a 2D image it looks like this:



Different shots of a person are used for different angles of the individual body regions:



The whole thing requires a lot of work, but the effort is usually worth it....

3.1.0 Release - New Weapons inspired by McCovican

After a long, very involved conversation with McCovican, we agreed it was wise to include his personal patched weapon ideas directly into the DarkStar Astrodynamics mod. With his inspiration, and permission, I introduce you to the Devastator Burst-Ballistic weapon, the Disintegrator Automatic Particle weapon, and the Peacekeeper Burst-EM weapon. These things are... amazing. Totally worth swapping them onto your ship.

All three are available in NG+ and Pre-NG playthroughs, at the same scaling and unlocks as the existing weapons and from the same vendors.

As with the other weapons, the NG+ versions also include EM damage where not obvious, and convert the critical effects to Starborn criticals.

Check the images included on this mod page for more details on...

New in SF Civis Vendors More Credits Gradually Increased

Interminable long story.

New in version 1.51:
1. Talia O'Shea will no longer follow you if you want to open the red door in her clinic (The Well).
2. Removed modifications done to Tracker Alliance Agents - not related to the purpose of this mod.

New in version 1.5:
1. Starting with level 30 vendors will have x15 more Credits to barter.
2. Madame Sauvage and Dietrich Sieghart (NE) will no longer follow you in their shops like those creepy psychic NPCs in Oblivion even if you were
fully cloaked. If they're still following you, use console commands evp or resetai on them.
3. Ship Service Technicians will no longer wonder that much if you landed with Starborn ship (less likely 80 -> 90%).

This bat file creates a level 60 Starfield character with the skills that I consider essential for general play, quality of life, and crafting/outpost/ship building, plus 1 million credits. I specify level 60 to unlock all non-quest ship parts. I recommend pairing it with the SKK fast start game mods....

Guide - Adding a new filter category or Converting your own workbench into a new category

Please read the patch creation guide before proceeding

Part 0: Is custom filter category really needed?
Ask this question before you start.
Good use cases:
-You have a lot of recipes, say crafting of all misc items, that will spam any existing categories
-You have many recipes not suited for any 10 categories in this framework, say you added recipes for IKEA furniture kits that can be assembled on site
-You have many similar recipes that must be distinguished via category, say you added star wars armor crafting for both imperial and rebels
-You already have a standalone workbench and all recipes attached to it, say you patched your mod for New Workbench Essential Framework

Guide - Creating a patch with RTFP

Part 0: What is RTFP?
It's a SFSE/ASI plugin that enables runtime record patching.
-It's esm-less, meaning you don't need to worry about 255 plugin limit and dependencies.
-It's fast, it can patch 300,000 records in 0.5 seconds (yes this crazy mod added 100k weapon mods)
-It's smart, meaning a patch will be skipped if the plugin to patch is not loaded
-It's on-demand, meaning you can include your RTFP patch in your mod file and have it lay dormant until the user install RTFP

Please read the guides from RTFP. You'll need to read at lease Part 1 and 2 to understand some concepts in this article.
Also, lines started with a # will not be processed, use them as comments
